Arm Holdings Limited (NASDAQ stock code: ARM, hereinafter referred to as "Arm") today partnered with ecosystem partners to launch the latest Arm Automotive Enhanced (AE) processor and virtual platform, allowing the automotive industry to apply it from the beginning of development, helping to shorten the development cycle by up to two years.

Dipti Vachani, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Division at Arm, said, "The automotive market is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, driven by more automation demands, more advanced user experience pursuits, and electrification trends, driving explosive growth in software and artificial intelligence (AI). Given that automotive electronic systems are becoming increasingly complex, in order to accelerate product delivery, we need to fundamentally rethink the product development process."

The new generation of AE processors introduces Armv9 architecture technology and server-level performance for automotive applications for the first time

Arm has brought Arm v9 architecture technology into automotive applications for the first time, benefiting the industry from the advantages of AI, security, and virtualization brought by the new generation Arm architecture. In order to meet the growing performance needs of today's automobiles, Arm leverages its leading advantage in the infrastructure market to introduce server-level Neoverse technology into automotive applications and launch a new Cortex-A series product based on the Armv9 architecture to achieve scalability. The entire range of products includes:

·Arm Neoverse V3AE: Arm introduces Neoverse technology for the first time in automotive applications, bringing server level performance to AI accelerated autonomous driving and advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) workloads

·Arm's first batch of Cortex-A processors tailored for automotive applications based on the Armv9 architecture:

Arm Cortex-A720AE: Bringing industry-leading sustained performance and SoC design flexibility to a wide range of software defined automotive (SDV) applications

Arm Cortex-A520AE: Provides leading energy efficiency and functional safety features that can be fully extended for various automotive use cases

·Arm Cortex-R82AE: Arm's highest performing functional secure real-time processor to date, introducing 64 bit computing into real-time processors for the first time

·Arm Mali- C720AE: A configurable Image Signal Processor (ISP) optimized for the most demanding computer vision and human vision use cases

·A series of configurable system IPs enable the Arm chip ecosystem to provide scalable high-performance automotive SoC

These technologies have been adopted by leading manufacturers in the industry such as Marvell, MediaTek, NVIDIA, NXP Semiconductor, Renesas Electronics, Telecommunications, and Texas Instruments.

The Future Road: Arm Automotive Computing Subsystem (CSS)

Looking ahead to the future, the system will only become more complex, and the demand for functional security will also intensify accordingly. Arm must integrate all computing components for partners and standardize for industry critical consistency. Arm plans to provide computing subsystems for automotive applications, pre integrate and validate the configuration of its AE IP, and optimize performance, power consumption, and area through advanced OEM processes. The CSS for the first automotive application is expected to be delivered in 2025.

The ecosystem can initiate software development based on Arm AE IP through virtual prototyping before the physical chips are ready

The traditional automotive development cycle implements a linear process: first, after the processor IP is delivered, chip development immediately begins. About two years later, the hardware is launched, and then software developers start developing. Nowadays, Arm brings a new approach to reshaping this process: utilizing virtual prototyping on the industry-leading next-generation Arm AE IP, allowing software developers to start designing without waiting for physical chips to be ready. Arm has collaborated with many partners such as Autoware Foundation, BlackBerry QNX, Elektrobit, Kernkonzept, LeddarTech, Mapbox, Sensor, Tata Technologies, TIER IV, Vector, and others to create a full stack software solution. They have also collaborated with industry leaders such as Amazon Cloud Technology (AWS), Cadence, Corellium, and Siemens to launch virtual prototypes and cloud solutions, Implement an earlier and more seamless development experience in full stack software based on the above.

By unlocking new opportunities for automotive developers and helping industry-leading automakers, automotive primary suppliers, chip partners, and software providers accelerate their product launch processes, Arm has taken a crucial step towards empowering the development of the automotive ecosystem, working together with these ecosystem partners to build software defined cars based on Arm technology for the future.
